You shouldn´t wish anything bad to anyone, but #JFKjr may get #Alzheimers one day himself, that #Moron. Our mom´s mom´d had it, and also my direct neighbour´s wife had it, she passed a few weeks ago from pneumonia, but I live in Germany where #Alzheimers science/research is still supported.
If anybody needs to get off the rash today it's gen Z and millennials . The apathy is deafening. Because we marched and protested in the 60s and kept the peace for the next 60 years both of those groups have absolutely no idea what they're losing in their helicopter parents f*** them up big time
That was my understanding, too. Hopefully, other countries will step up and hire the folks doing this good work. Lots of top talent in most disciplines are being actively recruited abroad right now.
They just came out with a blood test for Alzheimers last June. Advances were being made. & Harris was planning on helping with long term care. Now we’re fkd.
Exactly do not lose sight of what each and every single one of them has done on their own while they're throwing each other under the bus make sure every single one of them taste tire tread
I’m not the one who made thAT asinine comment in response to the post that LITERALLY SAID THAT RFK WAS DEFUNDING ALZHEIMER’S RESEARCH.
Speaking of seats, I’m sure there’s one at the kids table. Sit down and learn something 📖 📰 📺
With research from UK showing shingles vaccine may help prevent dementia it's obvious to the world that anti vaxer RFKJr wld abolish such research in USA
This is why I will pull a Robin Williams if I’m diagnosed with anything. It will be less painful than how our government treats our elderly. This shit bag needs to go
I cared for my grandmother, and was there while my mom cared for my great grandmother. My mom and aunts are predisposed. I was really hoping my mom wouldn’t get it because of how close some of the research was- 5 years from stoping progress. Now my sister and I worry about our own chances.
Rfk Jr. is a lying, conspiracy theory spewing, pseudo scientist, who couldn't care less how many people suffer and die due to his irresponsible and entirely self-serving bs. Just ask the 83 Samoans, mostly children, who died of measles after his anti vaccine bs misled them.
He's an ENVIRONMENTAL LAWYER, not a doctor. From what I've heard many of the Felon's judicial appointees have an "unqualified" rating from the American Bar Association as well. If nothing else this shows we need to codify minimum requirements for these positions so that this can't happen again.
Yes. He pretends to be scientifically knowledgeable, hence "pseudo scientist" when talking about vaccines, etc. Most of it is just conspiracy theories, debunked myths, & utter bs. Agree there needs to be minimum requirements. Obviously, the Senate confirmation process is completely political & bogus
My mom just passed from early onset dementia. My brother (who has a traumatic brain injury) and I (5 school age children) took care of her as long as we could until she needed to go to a memory care facility. I don't know what we would have done if she didn't have medicaid & awesome doctors. 💔
I’m a caregiver to my mom now. I didn’t know it would be me however my wealthy sister wrote both of us off. Aside from that caregiving requires and even demands introspection. It’s made me a better adult. I have the heart for it even if my mind objects.
I am a caregiver to my mom now too, she has been diagnosed with cancer, on top of several other problems. Luckily no Alzheimers yet, but her mom had it.
He's one of the most dangerous cabinet members of trump's admin. He's going to get a lot of people killed because he doesn't know what he's doing. He had no business being nominated for the job, but trump had to do something with him when he bowed out of the presidential race. Why secretary of HHS?
It’s really shocking when u get down to it . America and the world has an overpopulation problem. The rich have decided to depopulate and this is the result. They’re going to save the Earth for themselves and let everybody else die. They’ve just put on their high water trousers.
You probably won't. Even if u people get another ejection and turn it around, who would do the work? Knowing that any election in the future, the same,mad people may be reelected? Research takes decades sometimes, these brilliant people will move elsewhere.
And I wouldn't blame them.
But, really, don't get all my hopes up at once. Those of us ("you people") who are paying attention here really are having a great time.
I’m sure there’ll be plenty of institutions outside the US ready to carry on the work. If you’re really lucky they may even sell you the drugs when they happen.
Trump told him to trump said why waste all of the money when these people don’t know where they are this is what you’re dealing with. It’s surprising that your people don’t notice he is glad it is cut he keeps saying they’re going to die anyway, why waste the money that’s how Trump is. he don’t care
Never mind 20 years. In 30 years when you’ve got no memory, no function, no memory and no one to care for you . Bah it’ll be ok cos you won’t know anyway 😕
"Alzheimer's research extends globally beyond the US, with organizations like Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) and the World Health Organization (WHO) fostering international collaboration and research initiatives." Take heart work is ongoing elsewhere, maybe US specialists could join them?
The US is going to have some serious brain drain due to all these awful policies. We're already seeing an influx of applications from doctors from the US, which will be GREAT for Canada.
Rhymes so well, the Star Wars series are man made prophecy. Also feels like Odin seeing ragnarök but apparently knowledge can’t prevent it from happening. 🙄
If you haven't already checked out Jesse Welles on YouTube, I really suggest that you do. He is the modern-day folk musician being compared to Arlo & Woody Guthrie, I see some Steve Earl & some Townes Van Zandt tendencies in his songs, sometimes. My first reaction was "this young John Mellancamp."
Let’s hope so. Question is, will people in the US have access to any treatment that helps? The way things are going, it probably won’t be approved for use in the US.
Medication made overseas tarriffed anyway. No one will be able to afford it and it won’t be deemed medically necessary by our ghoulish insurance companies
I considered whether stockpiling canned goods a bit made sense, but my SO is on lifesaving meds we often have to fight to get approved. Right now he’s in a combo that mostly works great. If a martial law type chaos happened, he’d run out inside of 30 days because insurance won’t even let us be a 1/
month ahead in case of shortages or terrible weather preventing shipments coming in, never mind 6 months because real constitutional existential crisis happening. So it all seems a bit pointless and I can’t motivate myself to action on “prepping”. I need a good kick!
Trump in the background: “Alzheimer’s? That sounds familiar…did I know somebody with that?” Just your father and older sister, but I’m suuuure you didn’t get it too.
The Felon has a severe developmental disability and should have been institutionalized as a child. Unfortunately his cruel narcissistic parents couldn't deal with the fact they had an imperfect child.
Dude cut off the head of a dead whale, strapped it to the roof of his car and drove home with the whale's bodily fluids running all over the passengers and car interior. And you are now saying he did something irrational? Who would have thought?
And is a killer. Everything Robert Kennedy is doing is either destructive to the health of Americans, or tinkering.
There are only two ways to raise the shameful statistic of US ranking for longevity: 55th in the world. A universal health program, and the alleviation of poverty. Won't happen.
Sure was but they covered their ears and eyes, as they didn’t want to read or hear facts….their hate and ignorance is a disgrace. The people that stayed home…shame on them, it’s inexcusable. And then we didn’t challenge that election when the evidence was there.🤯
IDK if RFKjr is, Musk definitely is. He doesn't hate his trans daughter because she's trans, he hates her because he paid a lot of money for her to be a boy and she ruined his eugenicist plan to spread his genes out as far as possible. All his kids are sex-selected IVF babies.
A lot of this: cutting Medicaid throws people out of nursing homes. Playing games with Social Security impoverishes the old. It's one thing to have to think about moving your elderly parents into your home when they're still lucid and healthy and entirely different when they need skilled care.
The disastrous choices of inept and unqualified made by the 🍊💩 were made to further divide us and place chaos at every turn for this country. How shall we repay the gop magats?
I'm Gen X and my Dad has Alzheimer's. Both of his siblings died of it. I was hoping they might find a cure before I get it, but nope! Thanks, RFK, Jr.!
Millennial here. My mom’s mom had it and thus she might have it honestly im so scared of what it will be like if she does have it. I am scared of losing my mom.
The entire administration needs to be taken out in cuffs and charged with treason. Of course, the MAGA members of the House and Senate will block any attempt to do so. We are in for a long, hard road ahead of us as a nation. Maybe a “two state” solution will be the answer at this point.
I wouldn't bother taking up prisons space with these scumbags. Maybe leave them lashed up to some trees in a ravine. Small bottle of water to drag it out.
Oh my God. RFK, Jr should be forced to care for an Alzheimer’s pt 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The toll on patients and caregivers alike is terrible. The researchers and scientists closer than ever to an answer, obviously, the cruelty is the point.
This news cuts deep and personally.
Devastatingly, in a period of 7 yrs, I lost both parents to Alzheimers.
And because I have both genes, (so predisposed to it) I am currently in a clinical trial for a Alzheimers drug.
Yes, I am in 🇨🇦 Canada but study is based out of the US.
The Senate confirmed a moron. Worse, a steroid and narcotic abusing moron! He is acting like a moron. That is on the Senate. There were no illusions. He tried to hide nothing. He exposed his insanity and was still confirmed. Republicans would not vote for him, yet they made him a cabinet member.
The damage he's doing with his anti-vax nonsense and the cutting of research is monstrous. People are going to suffer and die because of these horrible people and their conspiracies.
I'm pretty sure he does. He's also severely developmentally challenged. There was a PBS interview once with someone who knew him as a kid, he said the Felon hasn't changed since he was 5. You don't get that way as an adult unless something is seriously wrong.
My mother is the youngest of 4. Her mother and two of her brothers died of it. And now she has dementia too. I'm a little terrified about me. And that would be me and my kid, as he is Gen Z.
You could set up things while you’re able to. Like making a will, setting up a power of attorney with someone you trust. Filling out forms like for end of life care. (I need to do these. I’m only 66, but I’m in stage 5 kidney failure.)
@pamelasheenatiger.bsky.social
I posted a few sites for you to get basic information. Knowledge is power.
My dad died in 2021 with Alzheimer’s. My mom and sister had a very tough time living with him as it progressed. Get your affairs in order. A will and powers of attorney.
I bought them, too. They're gonna be so useful at the grocery store! Grocery, such an old-fashioned word, just like bush leaguer as a synonym for "current president."
It's too bad for him too. He has all the signs of an onset. On the other hand, who could tell if he has Alzheimer's disease.
I don't know anyone else who has ever done the weird things to a bear that he has.
I'm pretty sure his father and uncle have disowned him like the rest of the Kennedy family. I've always said he's more mentally unstable than his Aunt Rosemary... after her lobotomy.
RFK is just temporarily suspending Alzheimer's research so we can get to the bottom of why vaccines cause Alzheimer's. Few people realize that 100% Alzheimer's patients had been vaccinated.
Been there with my dad's dementia. My mom was the primary caregiver and I backed her up along with my oldest nephew. She had access to the VA's resources, but bore the weight of his decline. I can't imagine being in that situation with these idiots in charge and worse options.
I went through HELL caring for my mother who had dementia. It was very stressful, and I had little support. It was sad to see her decline, but the movie Momma Mia always cheered her up (and me too). I imagine it will be more stressful for caretakers under this regime.
Millenials and gen Z should have been paying attention in November. Regarding health insurance and Medicare cuts: who will be footing the bill for elder care in the next two decades? Now that my generation X have just lost a huge chunk of our retirement savings as well as our social security money?
Husband’s ALZ part time at home care $18,000 year. Now going in nursing care 24/7 help needed and I still work. Without Medicaid $20,000 a month. At home care more.
I got my family to vote, they never vote. I told my sister “want Trump for president?” She perked up “NO!! 🤢 “ I said “there! Easy!” My parents and sister say they wouldn’t have known what was even happening the last couple years without me watching and sharing some level of info.
I’d say ‘funny you think they will be footing the bill’ but several states require children to pay for their parents’ care and I don’t think this is highlighted enough.
My parent with dementia was almost completely self funded memory care (and we looked for every possible benefit, parent was qualified for none and had nothing) and lasted 2.5 years. All in, it was around $225k that the children had to find.
I cared for my aunt as her POA at her end of life memory care. If she didn’t have a house to sell I don’t know how we could have kept her in a facility. $6000 month for 4 years. It was ugly
I feel for you and my story is nearly identical. What I learned is that even at ~$4.5k/month, there is no guarantee of good care if you aren’t paying close attention. Being furious on top of heartbroken is not a good combination for the children whose parent suffers from this cruel disease.

Cruelty….is the entire point.
They know they’re safe and that they can just ignore us.
But at least they didn't cut Alzheimer's research.
You might want to sit down, I've just learned something terrible about our funding.
Speaking of seats, I’m sure there’s one at the kids table. Sit down and learn something 📖 📰 📺

We just can’t discard our elders.
We were so close to a cure.
But good luck finding a cure for your hollywood privileges.
Damage is done. How long will it take us to try to salvage what we can?
But, really, don't get all my hopes up at once. Those of us ("you people") who are paying attention here really are having a great time.
I hope you're wrong and we can attract talent again.
Enjoy your coffee sans obnoxious tariffs. ☕️😀
All roles, both active & non-active are vital to keeping the resistance networks safe & effective

Reconnaissance
Tech support
Boots-on-ground
Leadership
There's no dotted line to sign..
#RESIST
absolutely nothing.
you guys need to get a hold of your government, it's not like you'd let us from the outside come in and arrest your traitors
Alzheimer’s and cancer aren’t racist.
They are equal opportunity, ironically.
They can't suffer enough for what they've done, and tarnished reputations as a punishment for lives ruined makes a mockery of the idea of justice.
What are they doing with the money instead is what I want to know.
PET welcomed the draft dodgers with open arms!!
Care for yourself
The demographic that created us has caused this. A lot of us parented ourselves while battling helicopter moms and coke addict dads.
Post WW2 era kids grew up thinking the goal in life was to exploit and to party. epitomy slackers
There are only two ways to raise the shameful statistic of US ranking for longevity: 55th in the world. A universal health program, and the alleviation of poverty. Won't happen.
We’re definitely keeping track.
Cruel and toxic idiot.
#RFK will suggest something like that.....
Devastatingly, in a period of 7 yrs, I lost both parents to Alzheimers.
And because I have both genes, (so predisposed to it) I am currently in a clinical trial for a Alzheimers drug.
Yes, I am in 🇨🇦 Canada but study is based out of the US.
I don't think RFK Jr. Has to worry much about being elderly..
Hence why he doesn't care about Alzheimer's..

1/2
All of this preparation is just a very smart move for everyone to do.
My best to you.
I don't know anyone else who has ever done the weird things to a bear that he has.
Eat the rich, fuck the Republican party
But the rest of the 🌎 will find a cure for Alzheimers
Maybe not for American idiocy though
But that's why Dark White Ages 1.0 happened when YMCA ancestors of European 🇺🇲 abandoned science for leeches & witch burning
Retirement gonna wait.
